<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alynnfin, post: 4261792, member: 18516&quot;]I have this bowl and would appreciate any comments about it.&nbsp; I know what I see.&nbsp; Picked up at an online auction some time ago and do not know a think about it except I read and which can be false of course.&nbsp; The closest I could find was that it could be a Snake&#039;s eye foot?&nbsp; Don&#039;t know what that means. Or is that Japanese?[ATTACH=full]339007[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]339008[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]339009[/ATTACH]</p><p>From the mid 1700&#039;s through the Meiji period plates, bowls and especially &quot;soba choko&quot; were made with the snake&#039;s eye foot known as &quot;Jya no me Kodai&quot; (蛇の目高台). Although this style of foot declined after the early 20th century, it was still used through the war to some extent. There are even some still made especially modern soba choko.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
